Nepali king given 15 days to leave

KATHMANDU - Officials say Nepal's king will have 15 days to leave the palace after his centuries-old throne is abolished.

Wednesday's announcement came hours before Nepal was expected to be declared a republic. King Gyanendra has remained silent as it has become apparent that his days as Nepal's monarch were numbered. In recent days, the country's leading politicians have threatened to remove him from the palace by force if he refused to go peacefully.

But, in an apparent bid to defuse the potential stand off, officials say Nepal's newly elected Constituent Assembly will give the king 15 days to vacate the palace after the country is declared a republic.
